Island of Misfit Toys… Gear Edition

Island of Misfit Toys… Gear Edition

The preblast went out, it said we would be taking a field trip.
The disclaimer was made because recently we have been fairly centralized in the parking lot area and hill of Sun Valley Middle School, and let’s be honest Zip-A-Dee didn’t coin the lexicon term #HairbandMile years ago because I like to run.

I showed up and needed to first pay my fantasy football league debt as the lowest scoring team last week which was 50 kettle bell presses while in peoples chair. Knocked that out for Slingblade (who didn’t even show up) and had a few minutes left to wait on the PAX. (there were 3 witnesses already there to verify)

Because this is gear and I learned a long time ago from Brown, High Tide and others that we need to shows the guns off, sleeveless F3 gear shirt was the way to roll in the 38 or so degree weather and off we went!

Well, not yet, grab a bell disclaimer given and circle up right here for…
COP
Side Straddle Hops x 15 In Cadence…
Oh crap we killed Gypsy! Thankfully disclaimer was done, not sure if he broke his back, tore a muscle/ligament or if his uterus collapsed because I have never lost anyone on the first exercise before! He seemed alive so we continued on with Gypsy doing Gumby type movements in the background, the only thing missing was Madison’s Lularoe leggings.

P1 farmer carry the bells
P2 5 merkins then chase down your partner and flapjack
Do this until we get to the new track at the back of the school.
We probably got some strange looks from the bus drivers but ever since Spielberg was honked at while doing Monkey Humpers not sure anything surprises those drivers anymore.

At the track stay with your partner for

Ye Olde Molskine:
Much smaller group than normal but still a solid group with a great effort.

#Tclaps to Gypsy for pushing through today, #IceUpSon and take some Ibuprofen I’m guessing whatever you did will be felt for a few days. Even with the injury you were killing it on the track laps, I would have liked to have seen you and Glass Joe battle during a lap or two but Glass Joe was running at the same time as me.

And I should probably mention I beat GJ in a lap! #TruthNugget
I may have had a decent head start.
Although I did hear Lamont say that was probably the fastest he has seen me run, that may not be saying much but I’ll take it.

Ever since Outland and then Overdrive and other AOs launched we affectionately referred to ourselves as the island of misfit toys, we are an odd bunch but friendly and today was no different. Between #mumblechatter about Bernanke’s legs during Mary (thankful I was facing the opposite direction) to Hoffa’s rarely seen (for good reason) Exotic Penguin Mating dance and of course Lamont’s story about his horse being violated, it was an odd and yet typical morning. It’s a great group to suffer in the gloom with and thankful and honored to lead this morning.

And a special shoutout to Countertop for helping instill the confidence in me to start the first weekday UC workout and to Glass Joe who I pulled in to co-siteQ with me when he was unsure what he could offer at that time. We’ve come a long way, 3 years ago on October 10th to be exact! #ISI

AYE!
